https://youtu.be/xGcfBRkJSWQ a compilation of all of leger's scenes in the dark knight, i would watch this over The joker, i'm sure phoenix was fine but this is brilliant, where did he get this character, The sad thing is this role may have killed him
The role did not kill him. He was already a troubled man.
Phoenix was fucking fantastic, not "fine". His Joker is the every man story of being ignored and downtrodden.
Its useless to compare them, they're too different. Ledger was gritty mastermind, fully fledged Joker, so in my opinion it was easier for Ledger to play Joker.
Its a lot more difficult to portray that descent into madness.
Watch Joker numb nuts.
